On this special occasion, we go behind the scenes with the women of Frontier Raas to share their first saree experiences. It’s heartwarming to see how the saree remains one of the most cherished garments for women, even today. Every phase of a woman’s life seems to have a designer saree moment, and we are excited to share how the six-yard fabric continues to hold a special place in the hearts of women across generations. Read on to discover how the first saree marked a turning point in their lives and how it continues to be a symbol of evolution, elegance, and personal growth.
The sari is a garment that has impeccably stood the test of time. Our relationship with the sari, as a country, has endured for over 5,000 years. Over the years, we have witnessed many evolutions of the traditional saree, but certain emotions, memories, and moments associated with it remain untouched. At Frontier Raas, we honor that emotion, that experience, and the profound relationship that the first saree brings into a woman’s life.
India’s rich textile and handloom legacy lends itself beautifully to the diversity of weaves and stories woven into the making of the garment. Each state is known for its specific designs, weaves, motifs, threadwork, drapes, and even colors, making the saree an evolving piece of art with an emotional legacy of its own.
“The word ‘saree’ always fills me with nostalgia. My mom used to give me her spare sarees to play with when she got tired of me constantly pulling out her expensive ones.”
Often, women turn to their mothers or the women they grew up around to reconnect with their first saree. Nostalgia, happy tears, and a flood of emotions are what many women confess to experiencing when the time comes. This emotion translates into every drape saree to be ever worn–generations of woven traditions.
